Hey, I gotta keep up with manga-- my girlfriend loves it and thus it's a way to share things with her and whatnot!
This series was actually excellent (I read the second and third collections, as you probably guessed by reading my book write-up and all) right up until-- well, I didn't bother reading that part (I'm sorry if I'm a spoily-spoiler, but if it helps, I read the Wiki entry on this going in and it didn't lessen my like of the books).
It helps you appreciate manga as a international bridge rather than just treating it as foreign and therefore cool by default.
THIS THIS THIS. This was a wonderful escape into Japan rather than just something Japanese-flavored (probably helped by the fact it was actually created by a Japanese author and artist).
